After Action Report

In Washington, the Wizards blew the doors off the Grizzlies 153-119. The Wizards got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Wizards; the Wizards pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Grizzlies' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Grizzlies · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
